Hollywood Bowl (not a bowling alley in the suburbs)

So today I got to go to the Hollywood Bowl again.
I have been twice before, and if things had gone according to plan this would have been my third time on this trip.
However, first excursion was the night of my 'continental chunder' as it has now been named so I wasn't leaving the house for no one. No man, no beast and certainly not a firework concert at the Bowl!
Second excursion was to Sing Along a Sound of Music. I couldn't find anyone to go with, and despite my love of gay men, it felt weird to rock up without knowing any of them, so sacked that off.


So this was the big one! Jason Mraz, an intelligent, witty singer song writer who I have enjoyed for many years. This was actually the third time I seen him, and again he put on a great show. He has a great rapport with the crowd and he has a lovely voice. Sometimes I find his lyrics just too wordy to enjoy, but overall it was a really good concert. Here is a bit of I'm Yours - probably his best selling tune from a couple of years ago:




Christina Perry also did a stirling job, as demonstrated by her song Jar of Hearts. (Still prefer Lea Michele's version though!)

The venue (that seats about 18,000) is lovely and it is so nice to be able to watch a concert in the open air in October.

If only the couple in front of us had listened to any of it!

Why on earth do you go to a concert if you want to talk all night? They would have been better off going to a bar so he could verbal diarrohea all over his date! And to add insult to injury he had a big old pumpkin head that he insisted on swaying, when he wasn't talking to his date.

A small glitch on an otherwise great concert!
